When economic decline is anticipated. `According to a study by a British institution (IMF, Capital Economics), China's GDP will never surpass that of the U.S.` `The book Danger Zone warns that as of 2022, China may invade Taiwan within the next 10 years.` Key to Sustaining a War: Food and Oil China is turning Tianfu Greenway parks into farmland and is attempting to secure oil through pipelines from Myanmar and Pakistan. 5) Third Energy Transition: Crisis vs. Opportunity `Battery transition will be delayed by more than 5 years.` Governments are finding it difficult to provide subsidies due to fiscal burdens. Inflation is slowing the transition. Key Issues: Crisis: Oil companies, aware of the energy transition, have reduced investments. If the battery transition is delayed by more than five years, this will lead to a future oil supply shortage. Opportunity: The delay in the energy transition opens up opportunities for the development of hydrogen energy. The current economic turmoil could be the moment for followers to seize opportunities.
